Answer from: carma43

The two sentences are simple sentences on their own. Some examples of compound, complex and compound-complex sentences using them are the following:

The car trip took forever, for my dad drove so slowly. Compound sentence formed by two independent clauses linked by the coordinator "for".

Since my father drove so slowly, the car trip took forever. Complex sentence formed by an independent clause and a dependent clause introduced by the adverb of reason "since". Both are separated by a comma.

My dad drove so slowly, and the car trip took forever because of him doing so. Compound-complex sentence formed by two independent clauses linked by the coordinator "and" and one independent clause introduced by the adverb of reason "because".

Answer from: jennyrr9021

1) The car trip took forever

2) My dad drove so slowly and the car trip took forever

3) The car trip took forever because my dad drove so slowly

4) I had a fever and the car trip took forever because my dad drove so slowly

Explanation:

A simple sentence is a sentence with one independent clause, and no dependent or subordinate clauses (1). Sentence 1 consists of one subject (the car trip) and a single predicate (took forever). On the contrary, a compound sentence joins two or more independent clauses with a coordinator such as and, for, or, but, or a semicolon (2). In sentence 2, the two independent clauses have been joined by the coordinator and.

Then, sentence 3 is a complex sentence. A complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause (the car trip took forever) and two or more dependent clauses that depend on the main one to complete their meaning (because my dad drove so slowly). "Because my dad drove so slowly" is a dependent clause since it fails to stand on its own because it is not a complete sentence (it lacks either the subject or the predicate). Finally, sentence 4 is a compound-complex sentence, a combination of the last two. A compound-complex sentence is a compound sentence (I had a fever and the car trip took forever) with at least one dependent clause (because my dad drove so slowly).
